Eclipse in Korea
Re: Partial Eclipse to Arrive Friday
So, when the skies go black this Friday, do not fear. It will not be a not the demand of a "sun god" for the blood of human sacrifices. It will not be not the female moon eating the male sun. It will not be not the end of the world. It will simply be an explainable, and beautiful, phenomenon of nature. We can thank science that we are no longer slaves to such superstitions.
But who or Who can we thank for science?
We can thank God for giving us the reason with which to understand His Creation. and for revealing Himself to Isreal, allowing them to know the Transcendent God above and beyond nature.
We can thank the heirs of this knowledge, monotheistic Jews, Christians, and Muslims, for understanding that a Creation created by a rational Creator was something that could be studied and understood, leading to the development of what we know as science.
We can thank the Catholic Church, for being the patron of the sciences, especially astronomy, and for taking this knowledge to the world.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
